I exploit an Apple MacBook Professional 13” mid-2012 with a 1 TB HDD. FileVault is enabled so the disk is encrypted. I am utilizing macOS Mojave 10.14.6.
I bought an 1 TB SSD (Essential MX 500, CT1000MX500SSD1). I need to clone from the HDD to the SSD, in an effort to switch the information and the OS of their present state.
I need to keep away from utilizing a third-party software program, so I attempted to make use of Disk Utility with the "restore" function.
How ought to I proceed? How ought to I format the SSD earlier than?
I attempted formatting the SSD below APFS. Then I launched a restore operation from my HDD (inside) to SSD (exterior). However it persistently fails with "OSStatus error 28", saying "couldn’t restore – no free house on the system", "the operation couldn’t be accomplished", "the operation failed", "the vacation spot doesn’t have sufficient house".
I do not perceive as a result of each disks are speculated to have the identical capability.
